Autumn

I passed through a stretch of denser wood and was looking for a splash of colour that was down at eye level. I noticed this sapling quite delicately growing in a small clearing allowing a little bit of light down through the canopy to warm it up and make it stand out against the foggy cool tones in the background.⁠

Sunbeams breaking over the ridges on the flanks of Wetherlam and Old Man of Coniston whilst heading up Tom Heights. This was the last of the light that day, but it was great to see.
I've often admired these ferns and plants clinging to life on a ledge here or there, and on this occasion, the light illuminated them perfectly in contrast to the darkness around and the greyness of the slate shelf upon which they clung.

As the rain poured down heavily a shaft of light broke through briefly and lit up the trees and the little row of houses.

As we descended the ridge of Lingmoor Fell, the last beams of sunset broke through and kissed the very tops of the Langdale Pikes.

After a lacklustre sunrise up on Loughrigg, the sun started to finally breakthrough small gaps in the clouds and tracked across the hillside picking up interesting details.  In one of those moments, the light hit a lone tree with softer light accentuating the surrounding woodland.

From Holme Fell, a wind swept tree with the Langdale Pikes in the distance.

Panoramic shot of the Buttermere Pines with cloud rolling down the side of Fleetwith Pike and Warnscale.  I was drawn to this common scene by the way the clouds hugged and flowed over the flank of Fleetwith Pike.
After an early walk up to the summit with no chance of a sunrise, I decided to head back for breakfast.  I suddenly felt the warmth of the sun on my neck as the sun broke through a gap in the clouds and spun around and fumbled with my phone to capture the view before me.  Golden side light illuminated Cat Bells, accentuating the contours of her flanks in full autumnal plumage.  By the time I got the big cam out the light was gone.

Autumnal early morning light catches the clouds over the Helvellyn range at Castlerigg Stone Circle in the Lake District.  The central cloud has the look of a phoenix alight in the fire colours of the morning sky.
Autumnal dawn light explodes in the sky in a blanket of fire over the Helvellyn range at Castlerigg Stone Circle in the Lake District.  Its easy to wonder what Neolithic man must have thought at the sight of such wonders.
